Airports in Liverpool

Overview

Located 7.5 miles (12km) southeast of central Liverpool in
northwest England, Liverpool John Lennon Airport is named for one
of its most famous residents, the legendary Beatles star.
Originally known as Speke Airport, the facility is the 10th busiest
airport in the United Kingdom, serving more than five million
passengers each year.

Declining traffic has forced airport officials to hike prices
and cut costs, including the closure of 20 percent of the airport's
toilets and dismissal of nearly half of the cleaning staff. This
has left the airport with a sadly neglected feel, though recent
expansions have added a larger retail area and multi-level car
park.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport is conveniently located and is the
primary gateway for flights to Liverpool and northwest England,
with many routes to popular holiday destinations like the resort
areas of Spain and Greece.

The airport is situated seven miles (11km) southeast of Liverpool.
